A Marshwiggle's View
"Why, it's not in reason that you should like our sort of victuals, though I've no doubt you'll put a bold face on it. All the same, while I am a catching them, if you two could try to light the fire—no harm trying—! The wood's behind the wigwam. It may be wet. You could light it inside the wigwam, and then we'd get all the smoke in our eyes. Or you could light it outside, and then the rain would come and put it out. Here's my tinder-box. You wouldn't know how to use it, I expect."
~ Puddleglum, The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis

A most interesting flower

Pyrenees Countryside
I took this photo while driving through the Pyrenees mountains, on the border of Spain and France. We were on our way to Spain's national park, Ordesa y Mont Perdido, hailed as the Grand Canyon of Spain.
Walk With Me Awhile
"So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
'Cause it's a long trip alone"
- "Long Trip Alone" Dierks Bentley
Nature's Tears
"Dewdrops, Nature's tears, which she sheds in her own breast for the fair which die. The sun insists on gladness; but at night, When he is gone, poor Nature loves to weep." ~ Phillip James Bailey
Raindrops
Rain drops on my window. We had a spring storm yesterday; it began raining like crazy, and twenty minutes later had finished, leaving large puddles and little rivers running down the streets.
The Mountain
"I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth."
- Psalm 121:1-2

Delicate Pine
The delicate frost on a pine tree is beautiful. Freezing frost caused the trees to look like frosted christmas trees! So pretty.
